Blue Goat Cyber
Startups are driving the future of healthcare—but for companies at any stage, navigating medical device cybersecurity can be overwhelming. Regulatory bodies like the FDA, EU MDR, and Health Canada increasingly expect robust security measures, and gaps can delay approvals, increase costs, and put patient safety at risk.

At Blue Goat Cyber, we help medical device manufacturers from venture-backed startups to established industry leaders build security in from the start. Our premarket solutions include penetration testing, SBOM management, threat modeling, and SAST to help teams meet cybersecurity expectations early, avoid costly rework, and reduce submission delays. We deliver regulatory-ready documentation that streamlines FDA submissions and helps address deficiencies quickly.

Cyber threats don’t stop after approval. Our postmarket cybersecurity services—real-time threat monitoring, patch management, and legacy device security—provide a scalable way to maintain compliance and protect patient safety across the total product lifecycle.

Unlike general cybersecurity firms, we focus solely on medical devices, bringing deep regulatory expertise and fixed-fee pricing with no surprises. If a cybersecurity deficiency delays your FDA submission, we resolve it at no additional cost.
Blue Goat Cyber is your trusted partner in bringing safe, secure, and compliant medical devices to market. Let’s secure your innovation—contact us today

PRIA Healthcare

Innovative medical technologies change lives- but only when patients can access them.

Too often, breakthrough innovations stall due to unclear reimbursement pathways and misaligned stakeholder expectations. Without early, deliberate access strategy, adoption is delayed and patient access is at risk. This is where PRIA comes in….

PRIA Healthcare partners with MedTech innovators to translate breakthrough ideas into reimbursed, scalable care. Founded more than 14 years ago in patient access operational support services, PRIA began by helping facilities and providers through prior authorization and appeals management, for novel technologies, ultimately enabling access for more than 40,000 patients.

Today, PRIA is a full-spectrum partner across reimbursement, market access, and regulatory strategy, supporting companies from early concept through commercialization. Our integrated capabilities – spanning strategic reimbursement, health economics, market access strategy, patient access, payer engagement, regulatory, and quality – are designed to connect evidence, policy, and provider economics, accelerating the adoption of healthcare innovation.

PRIA helps ensure that innovation doesn’t stall at approval- but reaches providers, scales in practice, and ultimately reaches patients.

Advancing Innovation. Unlocking Access. Delivering Impact.

PRIA Healthcare

Innovative medical technologies change lives- but only when patients can access them.

Too often, breakthrough innovations stall due to unclear reimbursement pathways and misaligned stakeholder expectations. Without early, deliberate access strategy, adoption is delayed and patient access is at risk. This is where PRIA comes in….

PRIA Healthcare partners with MedTech innovators to translate breakthrough ideas into reimbursed, scalable care. Founded more than 14 years ago in patient access operational support services, PRIA began by helping facilities and providers through prior authorization and appeals management, for novel technologies, ultimately enabling access for more than 40,000 patients.

Today, PRIA is a full-spectrum partner across reimbursement, market access, and regulatory strategy, supporting companies from early concept through commercialization. Our integrated capabilities – spanning strategic reimbursement, health economics, market access strategy, patient access, payer engagement, regulatory, and quality – are designed to connect evidence, policy, and provider economics, accelerating the adoption of healthcare innovation.

PRIA helps ensure that innovation doesn’t stall at approval- but reaches providers, scales in practice, and ultimately reaches patients.

Advancing Innovation. Unlocking Access. Delivering Impact.
